How to export reports

Step 1: Choose a report

From the admin page of Shopify, select Analytics. There are three smaller parts in this section, including Dashboards, Reports and Live View. It will automatically move to Dashboards after you click into Analytics then you have to choose Reports to see all of your reports.
